<p>The BC test has an AB subscore anyway, so there’s no point in taking the AB and BC (although you’re not even allowed lol).</p>
<p>So what are you guys recommendations for the prep book (I’m gonna be taking AB and self studying BC).</p>
<p>We have so far:</p>

<p>I’m interested in actually understanding calculus and not just getting a 5 on the BC exam.</p>

<p>This is a PHENOMENAL book! I enjoy math, so I was able to get through the entire review in about a week. If your calculus class is anything like mine was, your teacher will over-emphasize on diffentiation and integration techniques. These are essential for the exam, but we didn’t get to many sample AP free responses or multiple choice. I was able to learn the things my teacher didn’t cover in enough detail (FTC II, particle motion, etc.) I HIGHLY recommend this book.</p>
<p>Thanks james. I’m reading the reviews for it on Amazon and it looks to be pretty good. Anyone else use it and want to comment?</p>

<p>yea…its doable…
i know ppl at our school who were self studying for calc bc tests wen they were in precalc =O
lol…yea just buy lots of prepbooks and TI 89 [=</p>
<p>I like Barron’s a lot. A little bit of overkill, but the practice is second to none.</p>
<p>What did you decide on getting? Does it work well with your situation?</p>
